janerik··on Lazy Redis is better Redis
The key is removed from the main hashtable and thus not accessible by the normal code path. It's appended to the internal list for deletion then. That's basically just moving around a pointer.

A manual rename is not needed.

janerik··on Youtube-dl
It's easy to just throw the streams of Soundcloud songs against whatever music player you have at hand. MPD even has a playlist plugin, which correctly handles basic soundcloud.com urls and handles all the API stuff for you.
janerik··on Scaling Redis at Twitter [video]
Could you expand on this? I want to use Sentinel in an upcoming project and would be glad to hear what downsides I'll face
janerik··on Clojure Grimoire: an up-to-date ClojureDocs alternative
Neat. Apart from the bright red color of the search field, it's great! I just started playing around a little with Clojure and having the docs right at your fingertips definitely helps.
janerik··on Atom Is Now Open Source
There are already two packages in the AUR:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/atom-editor/

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/atom-editor-git/

janerik··on Instant Edit - Type anything
Oh, and of course you need that google analytics stuff in there.

janerik··on Show HN: Gitter – Chat for GitHub
I don't really like the idea of signing up with my github account. But I like the idea of Gitter.

One small improvement: Link the "@GitChat" on the confirmation page to the twitter account ;)

janerik··on Unfair comparisons
;) I did not see the "normal background" link on my first visit. I already instapaper'd the article. Let's see if I can add a more serious comment after I read it.
janerik··on Unfair comparisons
A moving background makes it easy to read! Thumbs up!
janerik··on Cryptocat's lead dev talks about the latest vulnerability
This talk is from the sigint 2013 (http://sigint.ccc.de/), the CCC's summer conference. Nadim's talk was just the day after Decryptocat was published.

janerik··on Redis (consistent hashing based) sharding made easy
Had problems installing "ketama".

I re-read the README now and it explicitely states that libketama should be installed from the git repository. I'll try it again later.

janerik··on Redis (consistent hashing based) sharding made easy
I know of that simple protocol. But the responses in the example telnet session on that side return "True" and "13" where it should be "+OK" and ":13" with the redis protocol.
janerik··on Redis (consistent hashing based) sharding made easy
The TCP server example shows a different protocol than the default redis protocol. (As I could not install it correctly I couldn't try it.) If this is the case current redis client libraries cannot be used.
janerik··on Node GH - All the power of GitHub in your terminal
Looks quite nice. But it definitely needs improvement.

I think it would be much better to specify a repo using user/repo syntax instead of "-u user -r repo". Also if I'm in a git repository it should use the origin repo and NOT myusername/currentdirectory.

For now a combination of hub & ghi works better for me.

janerik··on Sell HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?
Using flash for some animated images when you name it "wegif". Not the best thing to do.
janerik··on Show HN: Subtask – Organize projects the way your mind works
At my bank I'm restricted to a 5 character password. When asked if they think that would be secure enough I was told that an attacker would also need the login name and that should be kept secret as well (default login name is account number or FirstnameLastname and I doubt many users will change that)
janerik··on Paperkey - backup your GnuPG secret key on a piece of paper
Just generate a QR code from the output ("programs should do one thing and do it well")

janerik··on Results of the 2013 /r/Linux Distro Survey
Great to see i3 mentioned there. i3 was the first tiling window manager I used. I got involved in the development pretty early, I am still using it and try to help where I can (even though I don't write code for it)
janerik··on What's new in Sinatra 1.4?
1.2.x was last released in 2011, is just for ruby 1.8.6 compatibility (with 1.8.7 reaching end of life in june)

It's just the logical step to get rid of old deprecated stuff.

janerik··on Hacker News Should Implement Target=”_blank”
nope, not everyone. From time to time I just open links, ignoring the cnversation here on HN.

By using target="_blank" the site owner removes an option for me (see a few comments down, someone said the same thing).

janerik··on Hacker News Should Implement Target=”_blank”
Please don't. target="_blank" is just anoying on websites.

If I want to open that site in a tab I just use Ctrl+click or middle-click. That way I'm in control of where the link opens and not the site. Much better.

janerik··on Markdown.css – make HTML look like plain-text
Nice. Didn't know pandoc can directly read from an URL, even easier.

Sorry if the last comment was a bit rude, didn't mean to. I think the project is kinda cool. Keep going!
janerik··on Open Source in your Inbox: Code Triage
Just signed up and got the first 3 emails in my inbox. All I see is an empty black screen. HTML-only mails suck, please give me the plaintext.
